The Tragedy Of Major Charles Kawalsky | Stargate: SG1 | AvidCat! (a shorthand transcript)

*****

Major Kawalsky was one of the best characters in Stargate history / of course he's taken out / necessary to drive others / Kate / to tell proper we begin with... /

*****

Stargate (The 1994 Motion Picture):
Dir: Roland Emmerich (Independence Day)

The Stargate and necklace found by Catherine / decoded by Dr Daniel Jackson / spelled Kawalski on first meet? / billed as Lt. Kawalsky US Air Force but wearing Lt. Col rank / very little interaction before first travel / Lt. Col. Jack O'Neil quiet bc the recent death of his son / friends w/ Ferretti / Yells at and shoves Jackson / Ferretti tosses Jackson briefcase / O'Neil hides the Mk.3 nuke from all / remains loyal throughout /

Goes w/ to local village / Ferretti stays behind / it's a theme / travels along w/ locals across desert to City of Ra / isolated by a sandstorm / takes hostages / sees storm / Kawalsky apologizes / feast bc locals think strangers know Ra /

Ferretti and teammates while sheltering are attacked (insert theme) by Ra's men / ship nests on pyramid / Kawalsky and rest don't know / silver lighter / gun slap /
Salutes to O'Neil and Skaara kept doing it to him too / sneezing / chicken man / chasing after llama-camel /

Finding Jackson and backstory (to be overwritten) / Ra was an Asgardian? / Ambushed / No head symbol tattoos / gets put in water pit jail w/ O'Neil / Ra has bomb / different armor heads / child slaves / Jackson resurrection from sarcophagus /

Rescued by Jackson and Skaara / still optimistic about surviving / O'Neil about the bomb / Jackson tells Kawalski about the 7th symbol / revolution / locked out of pyramid / creates barricades /

Sha'uri (Sha're) is shot and Jackson carries her to the sarcophagus / fighting against Death Gliders / shouts to distract bc out of ammo / Jackson evades the mind-electro hand bc O'Neil decapitates a jaffa w/ a ring transporter / swap places /

No off switch / attack on Helm's Deep / up to the escaping warship so it goes boom / alien glows in kid / dope explosion / everyone saluting O'Neil / thanks Daniel /

Eye of Ra necklace given to O'Neil / that terrible movie with a plot that erases itself / End of film with trippy slide back into 'The End' /

  • My headcannon for ra was he first took the boy from earth and in the years afterwards encountered the asgard and he managed to implant himself in an asgard and used tech to keep the human appearance to keep his new host secret from the other goauld, maybe the asgard knew and they used the knowledge as leverage to implement and enforce the protected planets treaty.
    Love the stargate content, my dad loved this show as well
